ILLUMINATED ARCH.

Messrs. Ennis & Young are in negotiation
with parties in st. Louis for the construction
of an ornamental illuminated arch to span
the street before their museum on South
Main. The Wichita Gas Light and Power
company will furnish the gas and are assist
ing the negotiation, feeling sure that this
method Of advertising, once introduced, can
not fail to become as popular here as in the
east. The Specifications will call for its COM
pletion by September 18th, " hen the museum
opens for the season. The arrar gements are
about completed and Ennis & Young have
too much enterprise to allow the scheme to
miscarry when seconded by both the gas
company and constructors. The arch will
be thirty-fve feet high, allowing twenty-five
feet in the clear, and on each end viii be an
Illuminated tree composed Of twenty ole
jets, while the center viii be surmounted
with cluster Of eleven lights The arch
will have forty odd additional jets in various
colo red globes. Suspended from the center
will be the word Museum" formed by jets
with white cream globes The arch when
completed viii give South Main street holt
day appearance and during the evening will
attract considerable attention.

EXAMINED.

Mr. VIM O'Connor, internal revenue col
lector OF this district, and his assistant, Mr.
Jones, arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing, and asked the privilege Of Col. Halo
well Of examining some of the ardents lately
captured at the West End drug store. The
request was granted, and the examination
revealed what was considered some very
startling information.
The stock is stored at the sheriff's Office
and the contents OF no barrel conforned
with the proof of the revenue officer. All
had been adulterated. One barrel, the
officials stated, contained enough arsenic to
kill the whole town. One keg OF gin was
found without the stamp OF the revenue col
lector, and from its contents it was Judged
that it was manufactured in the city.
The officials stated that the matter would
be introduced to the United States court.

FOR A DAY.

The Rev. DR.. Stevenson. of Augusta, Ken
lucky, spent yesterday in the city, en- route
to Pratt county. 1t was his first visit 10 the
city, and of course the city is more of a city
than he expected to find it. He stated last
evening that he had written Mrs Stevenson
that Wichita is now or soon will be the larg-
est city south Of Kansas City and st. Louis
OF course he was favorably impressed with
tho city, and had many leading questions to
ask, which all Wichitans delight to answer.
He seemed to be able to tell good city when
he saw it, and seeing Wichita was able t'
understand what the forces are that have
made great city and will continue to in.
crease its growth
The Doctor left last night for Pratt cour ty
where he will visit a friend, and will prob
ably stop on his return in this city and re-
main here some days.

POSTPONED ONE DAY.

The three championship games between
the Wichita and Kansas City clubs, which
were to begin Il is afternoon have been post
poned one day, and il stead of being played
on the Doth, 9th and 18th, will be played on
the 9th, 2Sth and Goth, and these will be the
last games here until the 7th Of September,
when the Tepeka's will play here.
1t is but natural that these games
should command considerable interest,
owing to the fact that the Kansas City boys
have repeatedly EXPIRE ssed their intention to
wipe up the diamond with the Wichita's.
They have lately strengthened their
team with the avowed intention
of coming to Wichita in best condition.
From parties who have seen both climbs play
recently it is learned that Wichita has the
better team. and that instead of three straigt "a
they say they will win, the boys from Kaw-
vile will do well enough il they let one.
On the other hand all of the Wichita boys
declare their ability to win two out Of the
three games
These sanles viii probably be the most ex-
citing and hotly contested game yet played
In the city. A number Of Kansas Ciiy's rep

LOST BOY.

Mrs. Ann Hamilton, of Winfield, Kansas
wishes to find her II year son, Arthur Ham
ilton, but who has given his name since leav
ing home as "Char. ey." The last seen OF
him he was riding on a threshing machine in
Arkansas City and it is supposed he went tc
the country with the machine men. Any

What is getting the matter with tie boysl
The city marshal of Wichita has received in
quiries of three anxious parents in different
parts Of the country concerning their truant
sons who have left their homes. We com
miserate the parents distress, but suspect
that the trouble in maj ority Of the cases
would be found, upon inquiry, to rest at the
boys home and with their parents in not ex
ercising proper paren al control 1t is trite

PRIVATE TRAIN.

Yesterday, in company with NJ. W. Levy
John " Motif, R. P. Murdoch and Col. Fish
er, of the Mo. Pacific, reporter called on s.
q. Mallory, the great railroad contractor
and builder of D. NJ & A fame, at his pri.
vate train in the Missouri Pacific yards
Mr.. NJ. is enroute to the point of the d. M.
& A extension to Denver, which he says VIII
reach Sheridan Lake today, about fifty
miles west of the Kansas state line, and that
the road will reach Pueblo about December
1. The train consists Of two cars, 'sIllionr
and "Iowa." The former named is a hand
somely finished car in one end of which is
Mr.. Ms private Office furnished
with tables, desk, chairs, etc. The
front part Of the car is set apart for
the. clerical force with all the parahhrenalia
belonging to the business office of a contrac-
tor. The middle apartments consists of two
drawing rooms-handsomely finished with
folding bedsteads which present to view
when. foldei-large, beautiful bevel edge
walnut finished mirrors. The "Iowa" is
fitted up with stoves, tables, pantry
drawers, storage room for provisions. The
furniture and finish of the car is antique
oak. The two combined with all their
apartments is probably the most complete
special cars on the road
Mr.. Mallory is of the opinion that railroad
building for while at least has about come
to stop. Only lines that are contracted
will be completed. Beginning of new lines
and new schemes are not met with any en-
couragement from railroad builders East
ern bond buyers and negotiators decline to
handle the bonds that are usually offered
from railroad builders. There will in all
probability be few links connecting the M.
P. and D., M. & A. systems during the next
few months, aside from which he thinks rail-
road building generally will stop for time.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION QUESTION.

1t will be remembered that some DAYS ago
mention was made Of an effort to organize a
fair association. One of the gentlemen con-
nected with the scheme stated yesterday that
the plan proposed had been thoroughly tested
and he was able to state that it was no go.
No longer were there any hopes for a recon-
ciliat.on. 1.-THE parties have their gloves on
for fight and they may pull them off before
the finish and try bear kouckles,n he said.
Il have thoroughly tested the question and
one or two on each side talked to me sub
rosa about compromising but no sooner had
they given out the hint than they would
co mmence to scheme around trying to get
the best OF compromise. That wonderful
ly untarnished character you know must be
protected no matter if a compromise was
effected. As soon as l saw the trickery on
exhl bition l said to myself sslet em fight.
No one viii get more weary than them
selves
We'll, since this scheme WAS q failure l
will tell you that fair
association will be organizing very soon
bu will not hold a fair until next year
IA e been working on the scheme for some
dATs and feel that / am correct in saying
TIA Sedwick county will have a fair next
year that has never been excelled in the
state. A number of gentlemen have already
taken stock 1t is proposed to organize a
company with a capital stock Of slo0. 600.
The grounds will consist of forty acres at
least and probably sixty. 1t will be in the
best locality but don't feel disposed to tell
you at present. as We are not ready. The
matter is practically settled and il can be

WICBITA's CALL ON THE LUMBER MAX
KETS.

The following is taken from the New York
Lumber: sNo other western town has called
upon the lumber markets Of st. Louis, Chi
cago, st. Joseph and Kansas City, and even
d pom the mills in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, for the enormous supplies that
Wichita has. Every lumber center has been
obliged to pay toll to the extraordinary de-
m and eminating from that centre. Because
of this fact the lumber trade of the country
is interested in the cause of and growth OF
| that remarkable city"
From the above it would seem that the
great! building boom of Wichita is being felt
and is known in the far away east. Two or
thr. lumber companies have been organized
in the same number Of months which in ad-
dition to those in operation before, would
seem to be able to supply many contractors
and - builders with wood build
ing material. To gain a respectable
idea of the immense amont of building ma
terial of that sort used in the city one will be
compelled to stand, for short time in the
vicinity of lumber yard and see the many
teams arrive and depart with lamber. Each
company has a number of teams employed
daily in bringing lumber to the yard and Of
ten those coming in after lumi er are COM
PEELED to wait for their turn, there not being
room in the yard for all al once Often in
the morning before opening the gates large
number OF teams will be waiting, forming
long lire waiting to take turn,
In talking with a gentleman engaged in
the lumber business yesterday he said he
never saw building material in greater de-
mand. 81 had some time expected lull,"
he said" but its no hui; it's an increased
boom. There is one thing quite noticeable in
the building trade in Wichita. have been
In the business here for some years and have
noticed the change in the class OF trade At
first nearly all the sales were of the lower
or medium grades of lumber. As the city
developed the demand came for bet
mand for the better class of lumber
has been more rapid this year than any
other. OF course the demand means that it
is being used. 1t tells that more Of the finer
class Of business are being put up, and also
that the better class of material is being
used for building. Wichita today uses more
of the better class Of lumber than any city
in the state. know what say to be cor
rect. | have lately been in all the towns in
the state that would be accused of being as
tony as Wichita and visited the offices of the |
leading lumber companies. While there l
made it a point to find out the kind of lum-
Der meeting with demand and the per cent |
Of thei best lumber sold in any other city In |
he state will not favorably compare with |
Wichita, This speakes for Wichita what it |
ought to, that we are putting up the best
lass of building of any city in the state.

Four weeks ago man giving the name Of
George Whitney came to Mr.. Manning, of
the Kansas Steam Laundry on North Water
from the Troy Laundry Machine Company,
and asked for employment. Upon his recon-
mendation Mr.. Hanning accepted him, and
finding in him capable workman retained
him in his service With him was a bright,
pretty young woman whom, he said,
led her husband to his place of business; and
the two appeared very loving, devoted
couple.
Last evening lady came to the city and
going to the laundry said that her name was
Mrs. George Whitney and that she was in
search Of her runaway husband whom she
had traced to this city, She said she was
from. Gainesville, Texas, where she
and her husband had formerly
lived, be being part owner of the steam laun-
dry at that place. About four months ago
she went to see her mother who was very
sick in Canada. Her husband wrote regu-
larly for time and at last after the death
and burial Of her mother she wrote to her
husband for money with which to come
home. He at first put her off with excuses
and at last he ceased altogether to
write to her. She then. found that her
husband had eloped with girl Of the town
and had left for parts unknown. The couple
were married at railway station along the
route, Whitney having telegraphed ahead to
have minister meet him at the station and
perform the ceremony while the
train was in waiting. The
wronged wife was supplied with money to
come to Texas by her brother. While there
she learned that the runaway couple were
living here in Wichita and started in pur-
suit
She is fine looking and very intelligent
woman. She says that she has lived with her
husband for eleven years, and now that he
acted as he did she Is willing to
let him go; but she says he shall
furnish her future support.
Mrs. Whitney upon her arrival in the city
went Immediately to Whitney's former
boarding house, 3ls Riverview avenue, but
